Can I change file systems inside of partitions within GParted?@Bucic What is the best backup program to use for this function inside of Ubuntu? The size of sda6 (/home) is 99.96GiB, used is 1.90GiB. Once this small amount is backed up, how much space should I then allocate from sda6 to sda7 (NTFS)? I had originally intended to have all 100GiB for data storage, but am now uncertain as to how many GiBs I need to leave in the ext4 "/home" sda6....Thanks again for your help and any further thoughts.

Can I change file systems inside of partitions within GParted?Seeing as how I can only have 4 primary partitions, is this even possible seeing as my /home partition (sda6) is a sub-partition from the extended partition (sda4)? If it is possible, could I (using GParted), unmount the current /home sub-partition, shrink this and then create a new, effectively a sub-sub partition, in the NTFS format? Thanks in advance.
